An independent specialist in evidence synthesis

"Rigorous evidence must also be usable."
— Evidence for Impact Core Principle

Where academic rigour meets real-world application

We support governments, philanthropic organisations, universities, and system leaders in navigating complex evidence landscapes and making defensible, equity-oriented decisions.

Evidence for Impact operates as a fully independent organisation. We collaborate with leading domain experts and specialist researchers across disciplines to ensure methodological rigour, interdisciplinary depth, and alignment with international evidence standards — without institutional affiliation or conflicts of interest.

🎯

Reproducible protocols, dual-review screening, and full methodological transparency.
⚖️

No institutional affiliation or conflicts of interest — analysis you can defend.
🤝
Collaboration
Domain experts and academics contribute throughout every engagement.
🌱
Equity
Actively surfacing distributional impacts and marginalised voices in every review.

A hybrid model for the modern era

We integrate advanced evidence synthesis methodology with carefully governed AI tools — never to replace scholarly judgment, but to enhance timeliness and cost-effectiveness.

🤖
Responsible AI Integration

Carefully governed AI tools assist structured literature screening and data extraction workflows. All synthesis, interpretation, and analytical judgment remains entirely human-led — ensuring accountability and defensibility.

🔬
Specialist Researcher Network

We draw on a network of domain-specialist academics and researchers across health, education, social policy, and environmental science — bringing interdisciplinary depth without the overhead of a permanent large team.

Supporting leadership through evidence

We enable decision-makers to reduce uncertainty, strengthen the defensibility of reforms, clarify trade-offs, identify equity implications early, and align strategic direction with the best available evidence.

Tailored evidence synthesis services

Each review moves beyond summary toward strategic clarity — identifying implications, implementation considerations, and areas of uncertainty.
